Victor Wembanyama throwing out first pitch at Yankees game

French basketball star Victor Wembanyama will throw out the ceremonial first pitch for Tuesday night’s New York Yankees game, the team announced.

Wembanyama, the no-doubt No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, arrived in the New York area Monday in advance of Thursday’s draft.

The San Antonio Spurs own the first choice.

Alleged to stand 7-foot-4, Wembanyama would be an imposing figure if he chooses to make his toss from the mound.

The Yankees face the Seattle Mariners.
